This error is related to the database configuration parameters, specifically the LOGPRIMARY parameter, which defines the number of primary log files for the database.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Configuration Value: The value set for LOGPRIMARY is outside the permitted range defined by the database system. Each database has specific limits for how many primary log files can be configured.
  Database Type: Different databases (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server, HANA, etc.) have different requirements and limits for log file configurations.

  Check the Current Configuration: Review the current value of the LOGPRIMARY parameter in the database configuration. You can do this through the database administration tools or SQL commands, depending on the database type.
  
  
  Refer to Documentation: Consult the official documentation for your specific database to determine the valid range for the LOGPRIMARY parameter. This will help you understand what values are acceptable.
  
  
  Adjust the Value: If the current value is outside the permitted range, you will need to adjust it to a valid value. This can typically be done through the database configuration settings or using SQL commands. For example:
  
  For Oracle, you might use the ALTER SYSTEM command.
  For SQL Server, you might use the sp_configure command.
  
  
  
  Restart the Database: After making changes to the configuration, you may need to restart the database for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  Monitor Logs: After making the changes, monitor the database logs to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the database is functioning correctly.
